Here are my string blocks laid out the way I'll probably put the quilt together. I'll use white on white fabric and do 3" sashing.
Sunrise lights up Chicago's long march of lakefront skyscrapers, putting the parks into sharp relief. Interesting how the Loop kind of recedes into the shadows here.
And yes, I can totally see my house from here!

The Batmobile resumes its journey,* speeding west along Highway 35. The encounter with Bond had been startlingly enlightening. Dreamwalkers. Dreamweavers.**
"Batcomputer. Scan for boundaries in Paprihaven along theta lines. Cross with phantasmal energies across all levels of subatomic translucence."
"Working."
He's missing something. There's not a known formula to scan for dream energy but this should give a starting point. Still...
Something has been bothering him since he and Bond were hit by the... what to call it? If his theory is correct, it was akin to a REM ripple.***
At first Batman was sure he had returned to his previous form. But, then, Bond had been just as sure. He had noticed Bond's difference though. He had to know for sure.
KLIK!
"Hey, Batman!"
"Canary, turn on your video. Look at me."
"Mmooookay! And... Okay, I see you."
"And?"
"Aaaannd, It sounds like I should be noticing something? But I'm missing it."
"Good."
"What was I-"
KLIK!
"Selena."
"Hello, handsome. Oh, and a video call no less. Want me to-"
"How do I look?"
"-get... How do you look? What a fascinatingly un-Batman question. You look luscious. You look entirely-"
"Bond is on his way to meet all of you at the Boogaloo. My Batcomputer places you there."
"Why is your computer tracking m-"
"When he arrives, look at him, contact me, and tell me how he looks."
"... ... Are you wanting me to tell you which of you is more yummy?? I never knew you-"
KLIK!
"Superman."
"Batman, give me some news. We need a solution. The way this conflict has scaled up, even if we win, Paprihaven will be destroyed."
"Hrn. I'm tracking on new information now. I may have a solution soon. I'm going to be out of play and out of contact for a while."
"What's a while?"
"Hard to tell. And I'll need Diana."
"Diana is our heaviest hitter second only to me."
"She beat you once."
"I was mind controlled. If you need power, take Mary Marvel. Or Power Girl. I'd offer Kara but she's out of dimension with Barbara on a mission of the Queen."****
"Out of dimension? Alice sent them? I didn't okay Batgirl leaving."
"I'm just surprised I knew something you didn't."
"No, I need Diana. It's not just the power, it's her experience. Everything may hinge on this, Kal. We don't want to cut corners here."
"Have you asked Diana?"
"I wanted to speak with you first. Keep you in the loop. So you don't throw another super-fit."*****
"I didn't... Okay, contact her. If Diana's good with it, I'm good with it, but do it on open channel so everyone knows she's off the field. We'll need to get a reinforcement to take her place.
Maybe Shazam. She's heavily involved with someone called Juggernaut at the moment."******
"Hrn. I have one more thing to check. Then I'll let Diana know on open channel."
"Sounds good. Be careful, friend."
KLIK!
The Batman settles in and brings his mind into sharp focus. He believes he now knows what Alice is keeping in the castle. And, if so, and he can reach it, then the next steps will mean life or death of Paprihaven.
He pushes aside the uneasiness of 'other Batmen'. There was no evidence any of them had breached or remained in Paprihaven.

A very old MOC, long before I would learn my modern greebling skills. This is a reimagining of the Hero Factory character Jimi Stringer, aiming to both combine his 2010 and 2013 sets and demonstrate what a system-built CCBS figure could look like.
This is what happens, I get time to go out in public, and the event gives me a nifty thing to play with. I am boating like a pro, enjoying myself and the event, then all of a sudden, The AntiScript in me rises her head, and my boat breaks.
Stringer can't haz nice things.
The lanterns theme set lighted-up for the Mid-Autumn Festival 2019 celebrations at the Supertree Grove, Gardens by the Bay.

Had a great time last night watching my friend Mondo's band, Secret Wars, play at The Piston. I got put in charge of being key photographer. Some shots were blurry but I got some gems I think. :D

1/2010 - Altoona, PA
Winter 2009-10 Juniata had no room and the yard was slow, so a long string of retired highhoods was moved into the yard for storage. Most of these have been scrapped or rebuilt into other creations by now.
A snow covered shoreline at String Lake. After several days of heavy cloud cover, the Tetons where finally visible, but the light wind prevented any reflection shots. I sure wish I had waited one more day to leave, and tried one more time.

Senecio rowleyanus, a succulent native to Namibia. This one is very small, supposedly the stems with the balls can get up to three feet (1m) long. For 2016" one photo each day (154/366)

One of our favorite family vacations - GrandTeton National Park and Yellowstone. One day we canoed Lee and String Lakes and portaged in-between. A perfect, easy-going canoe trip for a family.
Most of the areas we canoed were so shallow, even the kids could touch bottom.
